What is the chamber tachycardia?

Ventricular tachycardia or V-tach is an unusually fast heart rhythm. Three or more heart rhythms at 100 beats per minute or higher correspond to diagnostic criteria for ventricular tachycardia. In some patients, the rapid heart rhythm is resolved within 30 seconds, while others can be maintained and lasts more than 30 seconds. This heart rhythm is a sign of a basic heart problem and can prevent serious medical readiness. Part of the heart muscle responsible for regulating the contraction of the chambers prematurely fires, causing the chambers to close too soon. The distinguishing heart rhythm can be seen in electrocardiography (ECG), which allows doctors to diagnose ventricular tachycardia. Because the condition may be intermittent, patients may be asked to wear a mobile monitor to record cardiac rhythms, allowing doctors to identify the period of fast heart frequencyjak during the day. Palpitations where the heart feels like it was beat up quicklyto dare, along with sweat, pale, suffocating skin, nausea and a general sense of malaise. Some causes of this abnormally fast heart rate include chronic cardiac states such as cardiomyopathy, along with the scarring of myocardial infarcts. Ventricular tachycardia can also directly prevent infarction.

If this persists, chamber tachycardia sometimes leads to a very dangerous medical emergency situation called chamber fibrillation. In this type of heart rhythm, the heart beats very quickly and is not coordinated. Instead of blood circulation, shakes in the chest. The patient may die within minutes due to poor blood circulation into the body. V-FIB, as is also known, produces a very recognizable rhythm on the ECG, which makes it easier to identify.

Available treatment may include medicines to regulate heart rhythm, ablation of damaged chambers to restore normal heart rhythm and use external stimulatorsh device to shock the heart to the right rhythm. Some patients may be required to surge the heart. It is also important to identify and treat the basic cause if possible to prevent complications such as ventricular fibrillation. Patients with a history of episodes of chamber tachycardia should make sure that their doctors will be aware of this, especially if they go to surgery.
